You must include your rules inside of a group tag. Unless I’m totally missing 
something, that is what analysisd is complaining about.

Thanks all for your feedback. I added the following in the local_rules.xml 
after </group> --> and before <!-- EOF --> but running into errors:

 

<rule id=“100101” level=“0”>

<if_level>7</if_level>

<srcip>1.2.3.4</srcip>

<srcip>2.3.4.5 <http://64.37.231.0/24> /24</srcip>

<description>Ignoring rule any level above 7 from Whitelisted IPs</description>

</rule>

 

Error:

 

"OSSEC analysisd: Testing rules failed. Configuration error. Exiting."

 

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

 

Cal

That's correct as long as the srcip is being decoded. You may need two 
rules just in case: 

<rule id=“100001” level=“0”> 
<if_level>7</if_level> 
<srcip>1.2.3.0/24 <http://1.2.3.0/24> </srcip> 
<description>Ignoring rule any level above 7 from Whitelisted IPs</description> 
</rule> 

<rule id=“100002” level=“0”> 
<if_level>7</if_level> 
<regex> 1.2.3.\d+ </match> 
<description>Ignoring rule any level above 7 from Whitelisted IPs</description> 
</rule> 

The second one is a bit dangerous as it may open you up to log 
injections, but you can use that as a start or tie it down to only 
some logs formats. 

thanks,
